A Place of Last Drink Initiative
BACKGROUND: Place of last drink (POLD) is a law enforcement strategy designed to decrease the service of alcohol to intoxicated patrons (i.e., overservice). When officers respond to an alcohol-related incident, they inquire about and record the place where the involved individuals last drank alcohol; this information can help identify licensed alcohol establishments that show a pattern of overserving alcohol. We evaluated the effects of a POLD in…
The adaptation and evaluation of a culturally grounded lifestyle intervention to mitigate the risk of Alzheimer's disease and related dementias in Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders
Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders (NHPI) have a greater risk of Alzheimer’s disease and other related dementias (ADRD), and at younger ages; yet, they are nearly absent in ADRD research. • A novel culturally-grounded intervention focused on diet, exercise, and social and cognitive engagement can improve the clinical factors of ADRD and prevent or delay its onset in NHPI. • Innovative trial designs to test the feasibility and effectiveness of…
Relationships Among Covid-19 Contraction, Job Loss, and Food Insecurity in American Indian and Alaska Native Peoples
Food insecurity in urban American Indian and Alaska Native populations during the Covid-19 pandemic
High rates of food insecurity among American Indian and Alaska Native communities likely increased during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, despite the high prevalence of food insecurity, community-led efforts to reduce COVID-19 infection and increase vaccination uptake across Indian Health Service and Tribal healthcare facilities may have mitigated the negative impacts of the pandemic for families experiencing food insecurity. These successful app…
An Ancillary Effect of Patient Navigation Following Detox
Patient navigation (PN) is increasingly used to help people overcome barriers to accessing health care. In a recent trial, PN was added to motivational interviewing (MI) to help patients discharged from detoxification (detox) transition to follow-up care. The goal was to test whether PN in addition to MI increased transition rates and reduced subsequent readmissions into detox compared with MI alone. Results demonstrated little evidence of a trea…

Impact of Community Support Workers in Rural Ethiopia on Emotional and Psychosocial Health of Persons Living with HIV
A three-year randomized community trial of community support workers in rural Ethiopia to promote retention in HIV care
Retention in care is a major challenge for global AIDS control, including sub-Saharan Africa. In a large Ethiopian region, we evaluated an intervention where HIV positive community support workers (CSWs) provided HIV health education, personal counseling and social support for HIV patients new to care. We enrolled 1,799 patients recently entering care from 32 hospitals and health centers, randomized to intervention or control sites. Dates of all …
Disclosure of HIV status among patients new to HIV care in Southern Ethiopia
Reports from Sub-Saharan Africa, with a large HIV-infected population, vary widely in how often HIV status is disclosed to others, including spouses and other partners. We surveyed 1799 Ethiopian HIV patients newly enrolled in care within the previous 3 months at one of 32 local hospitals and health centers about disclosure of HIV status and two perceived social support domains: emotional/informational (EI) and tangible assistance (TA) support. D…
Bayesian Weighted Sums
BWS provides a means of estimating the summed effect and weights for individual components of a mixture. This approach is distinct from other exposure mixture tools. BWS may be more flexible than existing approaches and can be specified to allow multiple exposure groups based on a priori knowledge from epidemiology or toxicology
Alcohol Consumption during Covid among Women with an Existing Alcohol-Use Disorder
Prior to the pandemic, our research team implemented a randomized controlled trial of an intervention to reduce risk for alcohol-exposed pregnancy (AEP) in American Indian women. When active recruitment for the in-person trial was paused due to COVID, the research team moved to conducting follow-up surveys with participants who had completed the intervention to better understand changes to their alcohol use during the pandemic. We collected surve…
Hospital Disparities between Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islanders and Non-Hispanic Whites with Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Dementias
Objective: To compare important indicators of quality of care between Native Hawaiians and other Pacific Islanders (NHOPIs) and non-Hispanic Whites (NHWs) with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD). Methods: We used the Health Care Cost and Utilization Project, Hawaii State Inpatient Databases, 2010-2014. They included 10,645 inpatient encounters from 7,145 NHOPI or NHW patients age ≥ 50 years, residing in Hawaii, and with at least one…
Complementary, Integrative, and Nondrug Therapy Use for Pain Among US Military Veterans on Long-term Opioids
BACKGROUND: Long-term opioid therapy for chronic pain arose amid limited availability and awareness of other pain therapies. Although many complementary and integrative health (CIH) and nondrug therapies are effective for chronic pain, little is known about CIH/nondrug therapy use patterns among people prescribed opioid analgesics. OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to estimate patterns and predictors of self-reported CIH/nondrug therapy …
Syndromic Surveillance of Respiratory Disease in Free-Living Chimpanzees
A Pilot Study of a Mobile App to Support HIV Antiretroviral Therapy Adherence Among Men Who Have Sex with Men Who Use Stimulants
Effect of a conditional cash transfer program on length-for-age and weight-for-age in Brazilian infants at 24 months using doubly-robust, targeted estimation
Food availability, modeling and restriction
Estimating predicted probabilities from logistic regression
BACKGROUND: We review three common methods to estimate predicted probabilities following confounder-adjusted logistic regression: marginal standardization (predicted probabilities summed to a weighted average reflecting the confounder distribution in the target population); prediction at the modes (conditional predicted probabilities calculated by setting each confounder to its modal value); and prediction at the means (predicted probabilities ca…
Weight-Related Teasing in the School Environment
Eat this, not that! Parental demographic correlates of food-related parenting practices
Family meals. Associations with weight and eating behaviors among mothers and fathers
Feeding a Family in a Recession
Objectives. We assessed current levels of food insecurity among a large, diverse sample of parents and examined associations between food insecurity and parental weight status, eating patterns, and the home food environment. Methods. Project F-EAT (Families and Eating and Activity Among Teens) examined the home food environments of adolescents. Parents and caregivers (n = 2095) living with adolescents from the Minneapolis–St. Paul, Minnesota scho…
Effects of racial density and income incongruity on pregnancy outcomes in less segregated communities
Quality of Care for Acute Myocardial Infarction in Rural and Urban US Hospitals
Context: Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is a common and important cause of admission to US rural hospitals, as transport of patients with AMI to urban settings can result in unacceptable delays in care. Purpose: To examine the quality of care for patients with AMI in rural hospitals with differing degrees of remoteness from urban centers. Methods: This cohort study used data from the Cooperative Cardiovascular Project (CCP), including 4,085 ac…
